Converse - what is it?
Once a basketball shoe that was affectionately adopted by the punk rock scene but is now becoming a worldwide prep phenomenon... but each to their own.
Every girl in my class has a pair of white, low cut converse.
What does "Converse" mean?
A brand of shoes that have been around for as long as anyone could remember. Recently they have become a trend for those who wish to promote fashion or those who consider themselves "rebellious." Little do these losers know, Converse shoes are owned by NIKE and made in sweatshops. Nothing says rebellion like child labor.
Fuck Converse, fuck NIKE, and fuck all of you that wear Converse
Converse - what does it mean?
Sneakers made of canvas and rubber owned by Nike. They were popular decades ago and have recently become popular again. The fact that trendy people have started to wear them annoys some people, but eveyone that wears them these days is doing it for fashion ...lets face it, there are no benefits of wearing converse; they are made of canvas so you have to pull them on like socks + they don't support your feet, the soles are thin and hard so they aren't comfortable for walking in. IMO, anyone that wears converse is doing it for some sort of fashion reason because you can get decent trainers for the same price. I'm not saying Nike Airs are an alternative, but, that is an example of a comfortable sensible trainer.
How dare he wear converse!? I discovered them 2 years ago ...when I saw that guy from that band wearing them.
Converse - meaning
In a nutshell: 2005 will forever be remembered as the year that cool shoes became popular.
Angry former-converse wearer: "There's another frazzlin' emo wearin' my shoes."
Cool Guy: "Damn emos."
Converse - definition
The oldest sneaker company in the world. Manufacturers of such iconic shoes as the Chuck Taylor All Star, and the weapon. They are over 100 years old, and still going strong as a subsidiary of Nike. Once known exclusively for basketball shoes, they have added a line of skate shoes in more recent times. They are also known for their Jack Purcell line, and retro shoes designed by John Varvatos.
The Converse Weapon, that's the shoe that lets Magic do what he was born to do!
Converse - slang
Shoes that have become overly-trendy. Now from these shoes being cool many preps have started to wear them. I bought all black Converse thinking they were cool then I go to school and see every other prep wearing the same thing (but in a different color).
Me: I'm totally bummed that I bought these Converse...
Friend: Why, they look awesome?
Me: Well the preps think they look awesome too.
Both: *look over and see's the preps goggling over Oliva's new Converse
Friend: Yeah, I see it. Shit I got a pair too.
Me: Let's go get some Docs
Friend: Yeah, after school let' go
Converse
Shoes that have become very fashionable that come in a variety of colours and some patterns. My mum says that she wore them in Ireland in the 60's and 70's because they were the cheapest trainers and the most widely available. Obviously they have become much more fashionable for teenagers and much more expensive.
"I love my new converses"
Converse
Popular shoes that were made mainly for basketball your dad probably owned some. Now in the 2000s “different” people wear them emos, rebels, rockers, drug addicts. People mostly buy them because they want to fit in…truth is ANYONE CAN WEAR THEM! Preps, jocks, emos, rebles, rockers, drug addicts, nerds, geeks, skaters, even...gangsters.
Person 1: Look I got new converse! Now I can be emo!
Person 2: Idiot, anyone can wear them. Get a life if you wear them just to fit in!
Converse
The brand of hipsters and free thinkers for years hit financial problems in the 90's and was bought out by Nike. Production was moved overseas and the price jumped from $20 to $35 a pair.
"I have a pair of Converse to match every one of my turtle necks!"
